In recent days it is found many of the electronic weighing machines which are made up of conventional materials. By using the composite material over the conventional materials it helps to meet diverse design requirements with significantly less weight. As well as increase in strength-to-weight ratio and also improves stiffness and impact properties. It also exhibits excellent corrosion resistance. Hence considering all these properties of composite materials, weighing machine can be made from composite materials, instead of conventional materials like steel, aluminum etc. This paper discusses the fabrication of composite plate by hand layup process. The fabrication involves reinforcing glass wool and copper sheet in epoxy polymer matrix. The load cell is embedded in between the two composite plates. The main emphasis of this work is fabrication of weighing machine made up of composite material. And these weighing machines are easily portable and less expensive. It can be used in laboratories and provisional shops for weighing purposes.
